Historical searches

We offer an online search of birth, death, marriage and civil partnership records. Customers should note that search results can be limited as not all of our records are indexed. If your index search does not produce any results or if you do not know an exact date and place of an event that took place in Newcastle upon Tyne, our staff can search a maximum of two years' records. Fill in an application form if you would like us to carry out a search and/or order a certificate.

Staff search
If you do not know an exact date and place of an event that took place in Newcastle upon Tyne, our staff can search a maximum of 2 years' records. Apply and pay for your search in the normal way here. If we cannot find the record, we will refund your money. Please tell us:

the event (for example: birth, death, or marriage),

first and last names,

place, and

date range

you want us to search for.

A General Register Office (GRO) Index reference may help you to narrow down the period that you ask us to search for you, but the GRO Index reference does not help the Register Office in any other way.
